You'll never meet anybody whose as interesting as a Joel. It's hard to wrap your fingers around him because he isn't stable. This guy is so good at reading people and playing mind games that he'll have you wrapped around his finger before you know it and you'll fall so in love with him that you'll begin to disregard all of the bad qualities that he has. A Joel is passionate and driven, someone who can overcome challenges without letting the pressure enthrall him. Truly a calm and cool individual. He's smart,cunning,and deceitful but that just adds to his hotness. He's well liked but he can let it get to his arrogant head and become a rude and selfish jerk. Beware if you aren't in his inner circle or a complete hottie because that's when his rudeness becomes noticeable. Despite his many faults he will cherish those that he love and remain loyal and dedicated to you once you've been accepted by him. He's cautious about who he chooses to surround himself with and thus he knows many but has few true friends. He is the epitome of an evil genius.
